2 What's new?

What's new in version 0.4.7

This is a bug fix release. It removes calls to some C99 math routines not available in earlier BSD's, make the code more portable. It also adds two new commands to the API for handling the images caching mechanism better.

What's new in version 0.4.6

This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It corrects many small bugs inside the desklets submission process scripts, makes portability changes to the autoconf structure, adds a new demo scripts in test (widget.py), corrects the xwindow_move_window routine for a small placement bugs on the screen (thanks to man1ed from the forum from providing the patch), and finally add a new appendix containing a handy online version of Imlib2 documentation.

What's new in version 0.4.5

This is a bug fix and documentation update release. It improves the desklets submission process by releasing the full check-in script used by the maintainer. It also solves a bug with window refresh when using user-defined background image and menus; thanks to ZeroDivide for reporting this. Various updates and corrections have also been made to the documentation.

What's new in version 0.4.4

This is a documentation update release, principally aimed at desklet authors. It basically includes a new appendix on how to submit a desklet (including scripted support), and a new subsection on system-wide font detection as well. The FAQ was also expanded to cover this topic.

What's new in version 0.4.3

This is a documentation update release. Most of the work here was made by Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net, who was kind enough to rectify the base author's deficient english by proofreading this manual from cover to cover. Thanks Mike! The FAQ was also slightly expanded, and a new appendix for desklets writer created.

What's new in version 0.4.2

This is a new bug fix release. It corrects a bug within the Python package that made it not compile on all versions of Python prior to 2.4.0. Thanks to nucular, from the adesklets forum, for reporting this. It also corrects another minor mmap-related issue in the same package.

What's new in version 0.4.1

This is a new bug fix release. It secures the use of the optional adesklets.ConfigFile class by completely changing the way config files are imported, thus removing a potential security exploit. Thanks to Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net for sharing his concerns on this issue.

What's new in version 0.4.0

This is a new minor version release. The interpreter now supports internationalization. It can now dynamically work with different character sets on platforms supporting iconv (as standardized in UNIX98), and display them in the right fashion. The Python package was also extended to include an (optional) generic configuration class, hopefully useful to desklets authors.

What's new in version 0.3.2

This is a documentation update release. Documentation was added for Python programmers, and the FAQ was slightly expanded.

What's new in version 0.3.1

This is new bug fix release. It just adds support for interruption of time gates by events. This is a feature absolutely required to make some timed effects possible.

What's new in version 0.3.0

This is a new minor version release. Portability has been a big concern for us since the beginning; with this version, the package compiles and runs flawlessly on FreeBSD and NetBSD (See Portability.). Event handling has also been internally streamlined, and the Python binding was extended to support dynamic modification of caught events (see test/test_events.py).

The interpreter API now exposes everything the author wanted, and will probably not be expanded much further; everything is pretty much in place to write any desklet, including animations.

What's new in version 0.2.1

This is a minor bug fix release which removes a compatibility bug within the GNU history library usage. Thanks to Mike Pirnat exilejedi@users.sourceforge.net for reporting this.

What's new in version 0.2.0

This is a new minor version release. Support was added for textual variables (string substitution, in fact), and execution of timed preregistered sequences of commands to the interpreter (indirect mode of execution). This gives desklets a way to perform fluid animations. Run the demo script test/fading.py from the source package to see those features in action.

For developers, this version also includes a rewritten, dynamically configurable debug interface to the interpreter able to generate complete logs on any session.
